  • #34: As unique as their thumbprint

    This week we explore an area that we very often bring into the episodes: subjectivity. Do we share the world we’re in, or do we create it ourselves?

    This weeks quote is by Milton H. Erickson “Every person's map of the world is as unique as their thumbprint.”

    Here’s the paper that George mentioned in the episode: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/276291917_Philosophy_of_Conceptual_Network#pf28

  • #31: Making other plans

    In this week's episode we reflect our assumptions about ‘the future’: what is the future we most often inhabit, and does ‘the future’ even really exist?

    Oskar picked a famous quote by John Lennon this week: “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.”

  • #30: Believe that there are fairies

    In this week's episode we discuss ‘magical thinking’ and enquire into its acceptability in modern life. We also wonder why we often find ourselves thirsting for more even on the best of occasions.

    This weeks quote is by Douglas Adams: “Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”

  • #29: If I wasn’t here, would anyone notice?

    In this week's episode we explore the themes of loneliness, validation and spiritual insight. We really allowed this conversation to be organic and enjoyed the recording process, hope that comes across!

    I heard this week’s quote on The Solo Collective podcast, from guest Kimberley Wilson talking about loneliness: “If I wasn’t here, would anyone notice?”

  • #28: And when they played they really played

    In this week's episode we explore the theme of wholeheartedness and the barriers to fully committing to what we're doing, whether socially or while working. The conversation truly felt like a real-time exploration of the subject, with insights naturally springing up as we went along. 

    The quote this week is from Dr Suess, “And when they played they really played. And when they worked they really worked.”

  • #27: Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be

    In this week's episode we explore the difference between seriousness and playfulness, between heaviness and holding things lightly. This episode really felt like an open and fun exploration of a word we both have a unique relationship with; seriousness.

    The quote is by spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle: “Life isn't as serious as the mind makes it out to be.”

  • #26: People may have fluff in their ear

    We have all been the victim, and perpetrators, of poor listening. In this week’s episode we explore our own reaction to perceived rudeness, and also why at times we are unable to be present with others.

    This week’s quote: “If the person you are talking to doesn’t seem to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that they have a small piece of fluff in their ear” - Winnie the Pooh
